UDTSecure Threat Advisory – WannaCry Ransomware Hoax

Please be advised that there is a protection racket circulating quickly that is mimicking the WannaCry ransomware attack. The group is tricking organizations into thinking their data will be encrypted and demanding payment to prevent this from happening.

The “attackers” make a monetary demand, trying to charge several thousand dollars for each infected computer. They are even asking for money upfront to not scramble your organization’s computers. As of now, these attackers do not have the malware necessary to make good on their threats.

What should you do to protect yourself? Do not, under any circumstances, pay the attackers. Do not contact the attackers and provide any information. Be sure your organization is secure and protected.

If you have any questions on WannaCry or need to better secure your data, please contact our security experts at 1-800-882-9919
